Why ? A lot of it is based on commitment, a lot of hard work. We work seven days a week. A lot of places are five days a week. They have set days to do egg collection, embryo transfer and so on. http://www.guardian.co.uk/g2/story/0,,2226487,00.html http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/friendsofargc/~3/mQAjwwIkqfg/Agreed_Statement_9-Nov-2007.pdf http://www.hfea.gov.uk/docs/Agreed_Statement_9-Nov-2007.pdf Mr Taranissi ends his libel action against the HFEA with the release of a joint statement in which the HFEA clarify their comments on his live birth rate and also the use of reproductive immunology in the ARGC and other clinics. http://www.hfea.gov.uk/docs/Agreed_Statement_9-Nov-2007.pdf http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/friendsofargc/~3/TRI2voKrZVo/article449121.ece http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article449121.ece Article from The Sun - FERTILITY watchdogs yesterday effectively apologised to Britain.s top IVF doctor Mohamed Taranissi.

To ensure that the bureaucracy does not stiffle medical advancement, empowering competant fertiltiy doctors to make the right decisions for their patients. To ensure that the Patient representatives are elected by the people that they represent - patients and not recruited by the board of the HFEA. To carry out a full investigation of those clinics which currently fall below the national and regional average success rates to ensure that patients are being given best advice and the best chance of success. http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/REFORM-OF-HFEA/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/friendsofargc/~3/GbmXUK4qXiU/index.html http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/ivf/index.html Sign Our Online Petition To Support Mr Taranissi and ARGC.
